Take the love you know,
float it on the tide,
dance with that alone,
drained by winter's news,
before she sails on by,
see the ones you blew,
caught up in a cyclone,
she’s going to be your bride,
say please don't go,
what makes it true,
a heart needs to fly,
to beat these river blues,
try to break the ropes,
the wind sings out at night,
nothing can atone,
what you have to lose,
that fellow by your side,
is He part of you,
you never did go slow,
to catch the other's smile,
d’yuh think she’ll show,
wait around a while?

I wonder if she's right,
to head for the sea,
lilac as the night,
she’ll dance and parade,
make love before the enemy,
her soul works this way,
the shouting and fighting,
slakes her release,
time is her lightning,
her eyes bear the day,
cold in the season,
when she joins the fray,
it comes down the wire,
before she flees,
a heart from the fire,
she carries sweet grace,
spring's done with greeting,
she needs to be away,
bags weigh heavy at night,
it's fun to believe,
she'll never sit tight,
will always want me ?

Will you come this way,
to see the ruins,
each time we separate,
I dream of the day,
you play those tunes,
just to slake,
the darkness at noon,
and you remain,
I won’t delay,
on golden avenues,
don’t have what it takes,
here in the shade,
falling for you.
my thoughts dance like rain,
are you made of clay,
I howl at the moon,
am not afraid,
I know there's a flame,
here in the gloom,
what am I to say,
you’ll see me soon,
bring me a sweet cake?

The sun rises uneven,
cars fill up their lanes,
this can't wait 'till evening,
beyond the night sky,
all I need to regale,
is about the life outside,
a social rush of energy,
coffee tastes the same,
who needs a good reason,
I might sail on the line,
it matters what you say,
not go off this time,
with my dawn novena,
my paper smile a hurricane,
your love tastes so sweet
I know it’s not fine,
to go out and play,
drink more sweet wine,
bars and visions of retreat,
what I have to fake,
it’s not my swollen feet,
keeps me in this game.

Go on then believe,
my skin is well toned,
who am I set free,
on-demand what to say,
the only song I own,
is along this highway,
a tide bittersweet,
penetrates my soul,
floats on the breeze,
who are you to state,
my only pain is gone,
now you're in my face,
you smell of the sea,
no need to groan,
against a rock of eternity,
sing as you sway,
am I being consoled,
no one makes your day,
calls on time to leave,
don't really want to know,
or care who retrieves,
the spirit from my bones.

Before you came for me,
who carried the light,
lost across the sea,
they say it isn't you,
in whispered prayers at night,
do they know the truth,
somewhere at my feet,
I forget all the signs,
I’m supposed to believe,
even with your news,
a power beyond my sight,
I am not without virtue,
love is a bitter feed,
it always asks me why,
something needs to be,
wolves howl at the moon,
words fall ill at ease,
some mask an open tomb,
broken on my knees,
won't you wait a while,
if you could only see,
love lights my smile.

Whoever says,
we will warm our bones,
after being away,
the picture's not kind,
we can cry but won’t,
home is not right,
thoughts that are slayed,
the same as in war,
when things become plain,
like the harvest light,
with hardly a wound,
in an evening sky,
maybe we’ll take a train,
like winter's love,
comes around this way,
a horizon bright,
we'll navigate alone,
feeling for what’s right,
a line on my face,
I'll just carry on,
everyone in this game,
hears that sound.
